Algebra 1 (Course #1200310)
1.0 credit – Grades 9-10
Algebra 1 is a course designed to provide the foundation for more advanced mathematics courses and to develop the skills needed to solve problems.
Pre-AICE Math 1 (Algebra 1) (Course #1200320)
1.0 credit – Grade 9
Prerequisite: 3 or better on FAST Math.
This course is for college-directed students with an interest in mathematics and science. It provides a deeper exploration of basic algebra topics and provides a strong foundation for higher math courses.
AICE Math 1 AS (Course #1202352)
1.0 Credit – Grades 10-12
Cambridge International Mathematics develops a set of transferable skills. These include the skill of working with mathematical information, as well as the ability to think logically and independently, consider accuracy, model situations mathematically, analyze results and reflect on findings. At the AS Level, students concentrate on Pure Math 1 & 2. What is normally designed to be a 2-year course of study that spans the typical American coursework of Algebra 2, Precalculus, and an Introduction to Calculus is completed in 1 years’ time.
Geometry (Course #1206310)
1.0 credit – Grades 9-12
Prerequisites: Algebra 1.
This course emphasizes critical thinking involving the discovery of relationships and inductive reasoning methods.
Pre-AICE Math 2 (Geometry) (Course #1206320)
1.0 credit – Grades 9-10
Prerequisites: “B” or better in Algebra 1 Honors & teacher recommendation.
This course is designed to give an in-depth study of Geometry to the college-directed student with emphasis on independent discovery.
Algebra 2 (Course #1200330)
1.0 credit – Grade 12
Prerequisites: Geometry & Teacher recommendation.
This course is designed to continue the study of the structure of algebra and to provide the foundation for applying these skills to other mathematics and scientific fields.
Pre-AICE Math 3 (Algebra 2 Honors) (Course #1200340)
1.0 credit – Grades 9-11
Prerequisites: “B” or better in Geometry Honors or Algebra 1 Honors, teacher recommendation.
